Default 13 pin Electric Socket Fitted Facing downwards

I have just had a Tow Trust detachable tow bar fitted to my 2015 XC60.

The 13 pin socket faces vertically down towards the road surface instead of facing directly backwards. All other cars I have had has the sockets facing backwards

My fitter insists that this is correct (it may be having looked at the fitting instructions) but it seems odd to me.

It obviously puts the cable closer to the road surface but I also am concerned if it would cause more damage fitted how it is should (god forbid) the caravan become detached from the car.

Has anyone else had this or questioned it?
